Anyway, I have a general question for the audience here. Do any of you read FAIR? Anyway, if you want to learn about how the American media put out crap and bless it as solemn truth, or if you are merely fishing for a reason for why whole legions of journalists ought to exchange places with the residents of homeless camps in Oakland, read FAIR.

Matt Taibbi's everywhere this month, especially over the past few days. As some reading this may remember (going back over a decade at "the other place"), I've been a huge fan of his for a long time. I was active in Boston political media, back in the early 80's, when his father, Mike, was a leading local newscaster there; and I met him (and worked countless times with his tv station's news staff) a few times, as well.

I think that what we'll be seeing over the next twenty months will be epitomized by a piece in Vanity Fair, "“It’s Going to Be a Guerrilla War”: The Sanders Left Opens Fire on Biden." This is a bit of punditry such as what we're going to see repeated endlessly through October of next year.
